Is there a particular stumbling block to building this concept you proposed on the Youth Recreation Trend Page 12 last week?



Yes, me wanting to allow these hulls to be build under 50 hours of work. This on the advice of phill. If you guys are really building a few of these then you better be able to pop a few out over the winter. Methods like tortured ply take to long.

I think I have a few solutions now. I'm down to only 3 "filler and tape joints". If a series is build then the prototype will be "filler and tape joints" taking a little time to build but after that the original hull can be used to make joints using shaped rods and that should really cut down on building time, allowing a group to pop out hulls rather quickly.

Also I'm now back at normal life responsibilities and so can only work on this design maybe 4 t 5 hours a week instead of 30 to 40 hours a week.

Here a more profiled look at the hulls (called 5 panel chined wave-piercer) that I think we can use.
